San Francisco 49ers impending free-agent RB Frank Gore's representation is engaged in contract negotiations with the team, 49ers head coach Jim Tomsula said at the 2015 NFL Scouting Combine. Tomsula and 49ers general manager Trent Baalke agreed that re-signing their own talent was a priority.

Fantasy Tip: Gore may still have a little bit left in the tank for fantasy owners, but investing anything more than a midround selection is a risky proposition. Treat him as a modest RB3, at best, if he returns to the 49ers.

San Francisco 49ers impending free-agent RB Frank Gore could re-sign with the club, but the Niners have zero interest in using the $10 million-plus franchise tag on an aging running back.

Fantasy Tip: Gore is nearing the end of his illustrious career, and we could easily see him signing elsewhere to finish off his great career. Either way, he'll likely be used as running back depth, and the same can be said about his fantasy value.

San Francisco 49ers impending free-agent RB Frank Gore still isn't sure if team management wants him back for next season. "If they want to bring me back, they will," Gore said. "We'll sit down; see what they want me to do. See what my role is and if I like it, I'll sign. If I don't, I'll try to see what other teams think of me."

Fantasy Tip: Gore could very well be on his way out of San Francisco with second-year Carlos Hyde chomping at the bit for a starting role. Gore seems to be over the hill at this point in his career and had his lowest amount of rushing touchdowns (4) since 2010, though he still eclipsed 1,100 rushing yards.

San Francisco 49ers impending free-agent RB Frank Gore wants to land in a situation where he can have another 1,000-yard season and a chance to win the Super Bowl, according to sources.

Fantasy Tip: If Gore gets his first wish, he'll be a low-end RB3 without a lot of upside.

San Francisco 49ers RB Frank Gore said he would like to return to the team next season. Gore is the franchise's all-time leading rusher, and he needs just 38 yards in Week 17 against the Arizona Cardinals to reach his fourth straight 1,000-yard season and eighth in 10 seasons. Gore said he hasn't had talks with the front office about returning next year, but general manager Trent Baalke said there is mutual interest in keeping him around.

Fantasy Tip: After a great Week 16, Gore ($5,555) faces an Arizona team that has been stout against the run all year long. That makes Gore a candidate to disappoint FantasyScore owners.

San Francisco 49ers RB Frank Gore (concussion) will play Saturday, Dec. 20, against the San Diego Chargers.

Fantasy Tip: Gore ($4,900) is still a risky play against a Chargers defense that has only allowed five rushing touchdowns to running backs all year.

San Francisco 49ers RB Frank Gore (concussion) was limited in practice Friday, Dec. 19, and is questionable for Week 16.

Fantasy Tip: Gore is not a strong play in FantasyScore even if he can get on the field. You should look for other options for your roster this week.

San Francisco 49ers RB Frank Gore, who is set to be an unrestricted free agent after this season, knows that these next two games with the team are likely to be his last. "I've been here 10 years and it could be last two games here this year," Gore said. "It's weird knowing that I won't be under contract any more. But I've been in the league long enough to understand it's a business." Gore could post his eighth 1,000-yard season if he gains 196 yards in the final two games.

Fantasy Tip: Gore's fantasy football value is on its last legs, as well; he's unlikely to be a featured back wherever he lands next. As far as this week against the San Diego Chargers, it looks like he'll play after suffering a concussion last week, but he's a weaker FantasyScore flex play, and only if Carlos Hyde isn't playing.

San Francisco 49ers RB Frank Gore (concussion) continues through the concussion protocol this week, but head coach Jim Harbaugh anticipates Gore suiting up in Week 16 against the San Diego Chargers Saturday, Dec. 20. Gore was limited in practice Thursday, Dec. 18, after sitting out Wednesday, Dec. 17.

Fantasy Tip: Gore ($4,900) isn't a strong FantasyScore play while coming off a concussion, but with Carlos Hyde not expected to play barring a miracle, it gives Gore's fantasy value some legs. However, he's probably not worth anything more than a flex spot in daily leagues.

San Francisco 49ers RB Frank Gore (concussion) and WR Michael Crabtree (back) were limited in practice Thursday, Dec. 18.

Fantasy Tip: Head coach Jim Harbaugh said Gore ($4,900) is going through the concussion protocol and should be able to play this week, though he's not an attractive option on FantasyScore as the San Diego Chargers have allowed just five rushing touchdowns to running backs this year. Crabtree ($4,300) also looks like he'll be able to play after missing practice yesterday but has been a season-long bust and is best left out of starting lineups.
